Democrats have own fiscal cliff issues

Democrats have own fiscal cliff issues. “Reid and the White House will also need to navigate a hardening Democratic divide on entitlements. Progressives don’t want any deep cuts that Republicans will insist on for a deal. But a Third Way poll of 800 Obama voters set for release Tuesday found that efforts to fix Medicare and Social Security enjoy broader support than liberals suggest.” It’s time for the Birdie President to step up and be the leader all his apostles keep telling us he is.

  • The affordable Care Act was intended to adsorb medicare and medicaid with the result being 1 entitlement instead it just added another more expensive, luxury entitlement. Thanks Obamacare!

    John Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock
    (MADE IN JAPAN )
    for 6 am ..
    While his coffeepot
    (MADE IN CHINA)
    was perking, he shaved with his
    electric razor
    (MADE IN HONG KONG)
    He put on a
    dress shirt
    (MADE IN SRI LANKA),
    designer jeans
    (MADE IN SINGAPORE)
    and tennis shoes
    (MADE IN KOREA)
    After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet
    (MADE IN INDIA)
    he sat down with his
    calculator
    (MADE IN MEXICO)
    to see how much he could spend today. After setting his
    watch
    (MADE IN TAIWAN )
    to the radio
    (MADE IN INDIA )
    he got in his car
    (MADE IN GERMANY )
    filled it with GAS
    (from Saudi Arabia )
    and continued his search
    for a good paying AMERICAN JOB.
    At the end of yet another discouraging
    and fruitless day
    checking his Computer
    ( made in MALAYSIA ),
    John decided to relax for a while.
    He put on his sandals
    (MADE IN BRAZIL ),
    poured himself a glass of wine
    (MADE IN FRANCE )
    and turned on his TV
    (MADE IN INDONESIA ),
    and then wondered why he can't
    find a good paying job
    in AMERICA
    AND NOW HE'S HOPING HE CAN GET HELP FROM A PRESIDENT
    MADE IN KENYA
    You gotta keep this one circulating!
